SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 40

SSC CPO - 24 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • English • Q40

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option. 

I am allowed to take photographs inside the church, ______?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. aren’t I.

We use the same auxiliary verb in the tag as in the main sentence i.e. when the verb in the main sentence is in the present simple, we form the question tag in present simple.

Also, if the auxiliary verb in the sentence is affirmative, the tag is negative.

Moreover, in an affirmative statement, if the subject is “I”, the auxiliary changes to ‘aren’t’ in the tag.

Therefore, the blank must be filled in with "aren't I".

The complete sentence will be: I am allowed to take photographs inside the church, aren't I?
